News Release Jan. 16, 2001 |
HOUSTON – Market Hub Partners LP (MHP), a division of Duke Energy Gas Transmission announced today it will incrementally expand its Egan, La., natural gas, salt cavern storage facility from 12 billion cubic feet (Bcf) to 16 Bcf. MHP has filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for the necessary authorization to begin the $9 million expansion. MHP expects to reach 16 Bcf of working storage capacity by 2005. "A return to normal winter weather patterns and increased commodity volatility underscore the need for more storage capacity and deliverability," said Robert B. Evans, president of Duke Energy Gas Transmission. "The Egan expansion will create additional services for both firm and interruptible customers to meet the needs of traditional customers as well as our growing power generation customer base." The expansion project is an ideal way for companies to manage some of the recent market volatility and reduce costs associated with market fluctuations while increasing the security of deliverability. With Egan and a second storage facility in Moss Bluff, Texas, MHP Partners' current total storage capacity is 23 Bcf, making it one of the largest owners of high-deliverability salt cavern storage facilities in the United States. MHP also is developing high deliverability salt cavern storage facilities in Copiah County, Miss., and Tioga County, Pa. Duke Energy Gas Transmission, the Houston-based Duke Energy business unit responsible for the company's interstate natural gas pipeline operations, manages 12,000 miles of interstate natural gas pipelines known as Texas Eastern Transmission Corp., Algonquin Gas Transmission Co., East Tennessee Natural Gas Co., and with other partners, Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline. Together, these companies transport 8 percent of the natural gas consumed in the United States. Duke Energy, a diversified multinational energy company, creates value for customers and shareholders through an integrated network of energy assets and expertise. Duke Energy manages a dynamic portfolio of natural gas and electric supply, delivery and trading businesses-- generating revenues of nearly $22 billion in 1999. Duke Energy, headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., is a Fortune 100 company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol DUK. More information about the company is available on the Internet at: www.duke-energy.com. ###

View all articles by Jefferson AdamsCeliac.com 03/25/2013 - More and more, research is showing that celiac disease may have a variety of different clinical presentations. A team of researchers recently used data from Italy, Romania and Iran to explore rates of gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with celiac disease.
The research team included M.J. Ehsani-Ardakani, M. Rostami Nejad, V. Villanacci, U. Volta, S. Manenti, G. Caio, P. Giovenali, G. Becheanu, M. Diculescu, S. Pellegrino, G. Magazzù, G. Casella, C. Di Bella, N. Decarli, M. Biancalani, G. Bassotti, S. Hogg-Kollars, M.R. Zali, K. Rostami. They are affiliated with the Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases Research Center at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Tehran, Iran.
For their retrospective cross-sectional study, the team used data gathered Iran, Romania and Italy from May 2009 - May 2011. The study included only cases of celiac disease confirmed by endoscopy, small bowel biopsy and positive serology.
The team collected data on gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, nausea and vomiting, weight loss and flatulence, as well as additional signs and symptoms of iron deficiency anemia (IDA), osteoporosis, hypertransaminasemia, and other related abnormalities.
The study included 323 women and 127 men with confirmed celiac disease. Average patient age at diagnosis was 34.2 ± 16.47.
A total of 157 patients (34.9%) reported at least one gastrointestinal symptom. Most of those patients reported diarrhea (13.6%), or dyspepsia and constipation (4.0%). 168 patients (37.3%) reported non-gastrointestinal symptoms, most commonly anemia (20.7%) and osteopenia (6%).
The data showed statistically significant differences between the majority of symptoms, compared with the reported clinical symptoms from different countries.
The study showed that European patients commonly complained of upper abdominal disorders, such as abdominal pain and dyspepsia, while Iranian patients commonly complained of the more classic celiac symptoms of diarrhea and bloating. Anemia was the most common non-gastrointestinal complaint for both Iranian and Italian patients, but was significantly higher in Iranian patients.
As always, Celiac.com welcomes your comments (see below).

Constant Fear
Constant Fear "firmly places [author] Palmer alongside the likes of Harlan Coben and Lisa Gardner." — The Providence Journal |
Troy Jensen could do it all: he conquered the Seven Summits, sailed solo around the world twice, and even fought a bull in a Mexican slum on a dare. So when word comes that a rogue wave has swept Troy off a crab fishing boat in the Bering Sea and into a watery grave, his brother, Jack, doesn't buy it.
Against his better judgment, Jack decides to quit his job as a Wall Street trader and head to Dutch Harbor, Alaska, to investigate. Minutes after revealing his plan in his father's New York City office, Jack is nearly run down in the street. He doesn't think much of it at the time, but as he digs deeper into Troy's disappearance, Jack unearths information about RED-CELL-SEVEN (RCS), a super-secret American intelligence group that has operated for forty years in almost total secrecy and with complete impunity—and its leaders intend to keep it that way at any cost.
An adrenaline-pumping tale of one man's descent into a hellish underworld populated by terrorists, assassins, and very bad "good guys," Arctic Fire explores the disturbing difference between doing what is good and doing what is right when it comes to protecting America from her greatest enemies.

My beloved cousin, Cousin Ebby, used to give me a mint julep cup every Christmas for years, until I had a nice set of them. When I moved back to the States, my house was robbed and they were stolen. It took me ages to even want to get some more, and if I saw one in an antique store or junk shop, I'd pick it up, but it wasn't the same. Pretty much every year around Derby time, I whinge about having my cups stolen and having to use ones from Bombay Company. So when I saw that OLK had some nice julep cups for sale, at a significant discount, I used some of my Christmas money and bought a few. Well, I bought six. I ordered them a week ago, and they came today. Nicely wrapped and boxed. Exactly what I wanted. I should have bought more of them!Well done, OKL!

OKL: Good Job!

I have a set of 6 sterling julep cups bought in a resale shop- the monogram isn't mine but is unreadable enough to be really decorative- had them engraved wtih my monogram on the opposite side and will have them monogramed with my son's initials when I give them to him- I use them for cookouts , picnics and anything else one can think of where a sturdy cup is needed

C. Brian Rose: Notes from Afghanistan
March 28, 2011 | by
C. Brian Rose
C. Brian Rose, former President of the Archaeological Institute of America, shares his observations about Afghanistan during his current trip:
As many of you will remember, two years ago I had the good fortune of visiting Iraq at the invitation of the US Embassy in Baghdad, and I described my impressions of the country, and especially the condition of the archaeological sites, in a President's Letter in ARCHAEOLOGY magazine. When I was invited to visit Afghanistan this year, AIA President Elizabeth Bartman invited me to share my experiences with you in a daily blog, of which this is the first installment. I will be in Afghanistan for a week, with five days in Kabul and three in Ghazni, nearly 150 km to the southwest of Kabul.
I am not the only member of this expedition: two American cities have established "sister-city" relationships with Afghan cities: Hayward, California with Ghazni, and San Diego with Jalalabad. Four representatives of the Hayward-Ghazni alliance will be with me throughout the week. The visit is being coordinated by the American Embassy, the Asia Foundation, and the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Ghazni.
One sees the effects of decades of war in most parts of town—some Afghans even refer to it as the Thirty Years War, beginning with the Soviet invasion in 1978. Dealing with the unpredictability of life in Kabul is also not easy—one member of the Asia Foundation said that each day was analogous to finals week in a university. But there is nevertheless a great sense of hope for the future wherever one looks, especially with respect to the many cultural heritage specialists who have devoted years of their lives to safeguarding the cities and their monuments.
I wasn't expecting to find so much pollution in Kabul, with dense clouds of smog settling against the Hindu Kush Mountains that lie to the north. The standard of living is gradually rising, which is a welcome sign, but it means that the streets are now choked with cars, and increased pollution is the result.
After a security briefing today at the Embassy, we visited the office of Omar Sultan, the Deputy Minister for Information and Culture for Afghanistan, who helped assembled the Treasures of Afghanistan exhibit that has traveled to museums all over the world. Mr. Sultan is an archaeologist himself, and brought the welcome news that a number of countries (including the U.S.) will join with Afghanistan to construct a new archaeological museum in Kabul. What they need, he stressed, were reciprocal arrangements with other museums, especially those who could offer conservation training to Afghan students.
In the afternoon we were treated to a guided tour of the gardens of Babur, the founder of the Mughal dynasty in the early sixteenth century, and the great-grandfather of Shan Jahan, who constructed the Taj Mahal. This lies near the center of opposing battle lines during the civil war of the 1990's, and bullet holes still scar the buildings; but the entire complex has recently been carefully restored, as have the gardens, and our guide showed us a video on his camera of the New Year's Festival that took place there last week, during which the gardens were filled with thousands of celebrators.
The security is good enough that we don't need to wear body armor as we explore the city, and we feel the Asian tradition of hospitality everywhere we go. I'll get a sense of a very different part of Kabul tomorrow afternoon when I lecture on cultural heritage preservation at the university.
WOW! I want to visit the gardens of Babur. Well done Brian making this important trip!
This is such vital and meaningful work Brian - I am thrilled that you continue to make these journeys and build these bridges.
Wow is right! I'm right beside Lizzie M-L at Babur's gardens. How great you can visit, Brian, with the wonderful (and very brave) archeologists and curators whom you worked so hard these last years to bring to our Annual Meeting. One can't do Hellenistic and Roman studies and not wish to be with you at the Kabul Museum! And in the same country, at least, as Ai Khanoum -- don't know if you're going there or not...

A Joyous Reunion
Cassie had lost seven pounds and was covered in fleas when Cheryl and Scott Smith of Charlotte found her, but they could tell the dog had once belonged to a family. A trip to the vet eventually revealed a microchip that had migrated around in Cassie's body, although the information on it was outdated. Still, the Smiths managed to track down the elated Metcalf family.
When Cheryl Smith called the Metcalf home, "the wife, Brandy, could not even speak, she was in tears," Smith told local TV station WBTV.
"We didn't hesitate, we were on the road the next day," Metcalf said.
"I only wish I could kind of see it through [Cassie's] eyes, to kind of know what she experienced and everything," said David Metcalf. "It reminds me of a Disney movie."
In this real-life adventure tale, the Metcalf family is extremely grateful to the Smiths for giving them their happy ending.

Hi there guys, did a search for some answers but came up blank on this particular issue. I've just recently got the Galaxy S III, and it seems to be using an extremely high amount of data on some apps, mainly Facebook, Instagram, and also Dolphin Browser. Previously with my last phones, Iphone 4 and HTC HD7, I would proably use maximum of about half my data allowance, approximately 750MB per month. However, in the week and a half since I got the phone, ive somehow managed to chew through about 3-400MB. Checking data usage on the handset, facebook used about 22MB today from only refreshing the news feed a few times, refresh interval is set to never, and upon checking this is all foreground data. The same story with Instagram, using about 20MB when i only opened it a few times toda, and all foreground data. Facebook has never taken up this amount of data on my previous phones, so im looking for any ideas as to what could be causing this extremly high usage. Grateful for any help! Cheers
Has it already finished syncing the contacts? Facebook's default settings sets it to sync with your contacts, providing profile pics and status updates in the contact details.
You might want to install this application _ It gives you control over your data usages. http://cuet.qr.ai.
It's set to not sync contacts, so that's not the issue, and it just seems that it's using excessive data when I'm actually using the app, and eg refreshing news feed, and reading posts. I don't really want to control the data usage, as I can do that by logging on, and just wondering if anyone had experienced this before, or knew what could be causing th. Excessive usage.
hi danuite, did you manage to solve the issue? i've found the exact same problem with mine - 10mb per day on one or two facebook notification checks (not even scrolling through my newsfeed), which works out as half my monthly usage allowance. given i used around 200mb per month on my iphone, i felt 750mb android would be sufficient... erm.... not at this rate.

Released: Jan 01st, 2007
Running Time: 95
Director: El Greco
Company: Dane Productions
Andrew (I), Holly Wellin, Bret Baldwin, Felix Vicious, Rick Masters, Crystal Heart, Hailey Young, Gener, Jack (I)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Having long since given up on the pretext of capturing authentic college pussy on the prowl, this series continues to posit their cast finding themselves in the unlikeliest situations. (So did The Three Stooges; to better success.) The cover blurb cites them as being "Hooker Mechanics." As the vignettes unspool, they instead play babes with car trouble who need a helping hand from Mr. Goodwrench.
Obviously El Greco needs any old excuse to justify the repair garage setting where pretty young muff mingles with rusty old mufflers. (The guys aren't that old, but they hump like Edsels.) A scene featuring Crystal Heart and Andrew revs up when she begins to squirt - and squirt. Otherwise, the vid barely passes inspection.
Retailing: Youth section/squirting.

Improving Digital Cable reception?
Alex C | I hope this is the best forum to post this... I have a Samsung HDTV and am subscribed to digital cable. The cable reception on the pay movie channels (HBO, Cinemax, etc.) is perfectly good, but all others are fairly poor. What all can I do to improve this? I know the TV isn't the problem! |
Anonymous | i wish i knew...The HD channels are great, and as you say, other "pay" channels are not quite as good, but ok..the rest SU%K |
Derek | That's digital cable's dirty little secret. Switch to DirecTV. Even local channels are crystal clear. |
Anonymous | Derek, DirecTV does the exact same thing. It is well known that there is a lot of compression, but the channels you pay more for will come in better. Ask anyone with a big dish and they will tell you how much better their picture quality is. |
Derek | I never disputed DirecTVs use of compression, but everyone I know with digital cable has at least some channels that actually contain SNOW. How is that possible in a digital system? GI-GO. So far DirecTVs picture quality is more consistent than cable. I must admit that DirecTVs implementation of HD has way too many compression atifacts. I have an RCA DTC-100 and after looking at DirecTVs version compared to local HD, I decided direcTV's version was not worth the money. A large dish system where compression isn't used is another option |
Alex C | I have a Samsung HDTV and there is nothing I'd like to do more than get the Samsung/Direct TV HDTV Box and stick it on top of my TV, but the dozen 250 Ft. tall oak trees in my backward tell me that they won't let a satellite reception in! |
Anonymous | Derek, I know you didn't deny anything, I just wanted to make sure everyone was informed. Alex, Who needs HDTV when you have talking trees? |
Alex C | The talking trees are very scary - like the ones that throw apples in The Wizard of Oz! |
Derek | Alex, you MAY be able to see through those trees. I had a similar problem when I lived in Chicago. My dish looked right through some oak trees. My signal strength meter never went above 70 and when it would rain the picture would block or go out and the sound would chirp. I replaced it with a 24 inch disk from Hot Shot (or perfect circle, I don't remember) and a Grundig duel feed block converter. They sell dishes up to a whopping 36 inches. My signal strength jumped to the low 90s and my picture never went out even with heavy rains - problem solved. I bought my dish from www,partexpress.com but they don't seem to be selling them anymore. See http://www.thesatellitedish.com/getItem.cfm?currPage=satellite_accessories&CategoryID=9&ItemID=626, http://www.satellitedish.com/cover.htm and http://www.accessorywarehouse.com/satellite_tv/dishes/index_dishes.htm What you need is a site survey. Have an installer do a survey for a small charge. |
Jay | I have cable, but it only comes in clear on one TV.I have even tried to split the cable at the main entrance and ran a new cable to the other TV (NEW SONY WEGA)and still I get snow. Is there any amplifiers I can add to the line? or a good quality cable divider. |
Derek | The snow is usually caused by a week signal. Radio Shack and www.partexpress.com sell tones of RF amps that should improve things but first, call the cable company. They split the signal many times before it gets to your house. If you are lucky, they will give you a nice clean line closer to the headend. Hope this helps. |

Rethinking Extraordinary CircumstancesScott DodsonUniversity of California Hastings College of the Law November 8, 2011 106 Northwestern University Law Review 377 (2012) William & Mary Law School Research Paper No. 09-170 Abstract: This short Essay seeks to rationalize the "extraordinary circumstances" requirement of Rule 60(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Under the Supreme Court's Ackermann decision, any extraordinary circumstances justifying relief must not have been caused by the movant's own litigation conduct. I argue that the Ackermann rule, at its broadest, would be unjust to those litigants most in need of Rule 60(b)(6) relief and would overserve finality interests. A case study of the recent Fourth Circuit case Aikens v. Ingram illustrates these points. I propose, contrary to Aikens, that the Ackermann rule should apply more narrowly: only to a movant who intentionally abandons the litigation. Number of Pages in PDF File: 10 Keywords: Ackermann, 60(b)(6), Rule 60, extraordinary circumstances, exceptional circumstances, aikens, relief from judgment Date posted: November 9, 2011 ; Last revised: November 12, 2012Suggested CitationContact Information

Gov. Dayton warns North Dakota not to proceed on project to divert water from Fargo without Minnesota's consent.
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton, from right, meets with Moorhead Mayor Del Rae Williams, Council Member Heidi Durand, the City Council and other local leaders Wednesday.
North Dakota won't get its $1.8 billion Red River flood control project without Minnesota's support, warned Gov. Mark Dayton.
At a pair of community forums along the Red River this week, the governor sounded less than supportive of the sprawling project that would protect flood-prone Fargo by flooding Minnesota and North Dakota farmland instead.
"Anybody that thinks you're going to ram a $2 billion project down another state's throat is just living in another world," said the governor, who met with Minnesota residents in Breckenridge Tuesday and Moorhead Wednesday to discuss the planned Fargo-Moorhead Diversion project.
The governor and state officials are fuming over North Dakota's decision to forge ahead with the project while the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is still in the middle of a detailed environmental impact review. Work crews broke ground in June on a ring levee around three small North Dakota towns that sit in the middle of the proposed floodwater diversion plain.
"If you're going to kick sand in the face of Minnesota," the Fargo Forum quoted Dayton as saying, "it will come back to haunt you."
Dayton and the DNR have fired off a series of terse letters to the nine-member Diversion Authority that governs the project, asking them to halt construction. North Dakota countered that Minnesota has no authority to stop it from tackling a flood control project on its own soil. Dayton, however, saw the move as a slight to Minnesota and its laws. Last week he asked the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to halt the project until Minnesota's environmental review is complete.
The meetings drew large crowds. Some were residents whose homes, farms or communities would be in the path of the diverted floodwater. Some were local officials who worried that without the project, the Red River's frequent floods will be a constant and costly issue.
The Red River has flooded in 49 of the past 110 years and floods have caused millions of dollars in damage to homes and businesses around Fargo. Across the river, Moorhead sits 4 feet higher on the banks of the Red, protected by a network of flood control projects Minnesota put in place over the years.
Fargo, the region's bustling economic hub, is hemmed in by flood plains and the constant threat of flooding takes its toll on the community's attempts to draw in new development.
Opponents say the diversion project would protect Fargo at its neighbors' expense.
Leah Rogne's family has farmed the high ground in Richland County, N.D., for four generations. Under the current diversion plan, the family homestead is a floodwater staging area. The governor's remarks "meant a lot," she said.
"It was wonderful to see the Wilkin County Courthouse chambers filled to overflowing," said Rogne, adding that the Moorhead meeting the next day drew so many participants there was no room for chairs. "I think people felt for the first time that they really had a voice."
The Fargo-Moorhead Diversion is a massive undertaking, — one of the costliest the U.S. Corps of Engineers is tackling in the country — and it relies on cross-border cooperation and cost-sharing. But Dayton said North Dakota's decision to push ahead with construction without Minnesota's support was a "trigger point" for his administration.
"It's really a shortsighted approach if they think they can just ignore concerns [of] the state of Minnesota and just do what they want to do and get away with it," the governor said, according to a recording of the news conference provided by the Dayton administration.
North Dakota's claim that the levees, which sit in the middle of the future diversion flood staging area, are unrelated to the larger project, is "disrespectful to Minnesota and the concerns of people in this area," Dayton said.
Asked what he heard from audience members at the Breckenridge forum, Dayton said they wanted an alternative flood control plan that would save Fargo without "turning this area into a regional sacrifice."
"We've got to establish a basis of cooperation and a basis of mutual trust and respect," he added. But for North Dakota to "thumb their nose at the state's Department of Natural Resources … is not laying the foundation for any sort of cooperative resolution."

Thread: How effective is this stream?
06-06-2001, 01:31 PM #1Plug-UglyFirehouse.com Guest
How effective is this stream?
I've seen quite a bit of discussion here lately on the use of adjustable fog vs. solid bore nozzles. Some even quite heated at times. I just received the June issue of Firehouse magazine and I think the cover photo is very timely. I normally don't like to just look at a picture showing a split second in time and then trying to critique it but this picture got me thinking.
Is the straight stream setting on this adjustable nozzle having any effect on this body of fire or would a solid bore nozzle be better? The hose looks to me to be a 2 1/2" and other than using a master stream, I think that is the correct line size for this volume of fire. I'm just wondering what everyone thinks about the nozzle choice.
Please try to give your honest opinions without knocking what others say. If you can give a good argument for you choice, please do, but be open minded enough to listen to what others have to say. Thanks.
Disclaimer: It is not the intent of this post to critisize the firefighters in this picture or the departments they represent. To the contrary, I think their operating tactics are excellant. They are fully suited up, down low, and both on the same side of the line.

Doesn't look like the stream setting is the problem.
It does not look like it is being supplied properly - flow/pressure seems way too low.
How soon into the fire was the pic taken? Maybe they were just getting started.
I'm just wondering what everyone thinks about the nozzle choice.
If it is a 2" or 2.5" line, good choice.
If it is a nozzle capable of supplying more than the needed flow it is a good choice.

If the line is a 2 1/2", it is, in my opinion, a good choice. The nozzle, on the other hand, is not a good choice. A fog nozzle on a 2 1/2" line is much too difficult for two people to operate, let alone advance. That 100 p.s.i. nozzle pressure causes a lot of nozzle reaction. As a result, the operator of the nozzle shown in the picture may not have the nozzle open fully in order to maintain control. Or, perhapse there is not enough pressure available to develop the required 100 p.s.i. at the nozzle. If a
1 1/8" or 1 1/4" smooth bore nozzle at 40 to 50 p.s.i. nozzle pressure were utilized here, a flow of 265 to 325 g.p.m. could have been developed, with less nozzle reaction and greater reach and penetration than the fog nozzle. This would result in a much quicker knockdown.

Here's what Firehouse says about the cover:
Firefighters from Freeburg, Il, were assisted by the Smithton, Fayettville and Mascoutah fire departments in battling a fire in a rural dwelling on april 14, 2000. Firefighters had to relay water from 1 1/2 miles away. during the early-afternoon blaze, firefighters were hampered by exploding ammunition and a liquid propane tank inside the structure.
Cover photo by Robert Schield
From the look of the picture, I'd say he just cracked open the bale and is adjusting the stream.
I would tend to agree he is adjusting the stream but the bail appears to be fully opened and not just cracked. His hand is also not on the bail so this would suggest at least a few seconds have elapsed since the time the nozzle was opened. Like mongofire_99 says, maybe the water supply is just not adequate. Any other thoughts?

06-06-2001, 05:34 PM #6mongofire_99Firehouse.com Guest
With all due respect and with every hope of keeping this civil I submit...
A fog nozzle on a 2 1/2" line is much too difficult for two people to operate, let alone advance.
A properly handled 2.5" fog is not too much for two people to handle. Using a technique different than what the guys in the pic are doing it is a piece of cake.
Advancing the line while flowing 300+ is another story, be it fog or smooth bore - knockdown, shut down and reposition. Either way, advancing while flowing in this case is not an issue.
As a result, the operator of the nozzle shown in the picture may not have the nozzle open fully in order to maintain control.
I believe the nozzle gate is full open.
I would agree the hose team is not in a position to handle the line at the needed flow.
If a 1 1/8" or 1 1/4" smooth bore nozzle at 40 to 50 p.s.i. nozzle pressure were utilized here, a flow of 265 to 325 g.p.m....
50 to 350gpm flows are possible with the 2.5" TFT handline nozzle that should be on the line.
I wonder if the flow is low on purpose to conserve water....
06-06-2001, 08:06 PM #7S. CookFirehouse.com Guest
I agree, I think the problem is the water supply isn't adequate for some reason.
Depending on how much of the building out of the picture is involved, a 2" could work for this as well. 300gpm is easily handled by a couple of rookies here:
06-06-2001, 09:33 PM #8ADSN/WFLDFirehouse.com Guest
2.5" is the correct size line. The TFT is not the best choice, like other people have noted the stream doesn't look quite right. Having worked with TFT's in the past I'd say that the line isn't flowing anywhere near what it could. The bail looks open to me, so the lack of flow must be due to something else.
I would personally use a smooth bore or a Vindicator Blitz Attack, WIDE-BORE NOZZLE (as coined by firehouse's article on water flow in this months magazine p. 72)
06-06-2001, 11:10 PM #9Resq14Firehouse.com Guest
I'd like to see TFT's BlitzFire battle that one. I bet it'd perform well.
06-06-2001, 11:22 PM #10FireDoggy1404Firehouse.com Guest
I agree with the Previous Comments. I think the flow was probably low to Conserve water. I know I have had to do it In My Very Rural Area.
Firefighter C.M. Baker
06-06-2001, 11:33 PM #11Dalmatian90Firehouse.com Guest
The bail is or almost is all the way back, so it's open.
So either the line is being underpumped or there's an obstruction. Most likely underpumped.
Why we don't know. It could be there SOP is to keep a fairly low pressure while the line is initially positioned then up it. Could also be they just ran out of water and in a moment the stream will be piddling out.
Let's see,
Obviously no firefighters are inside on this on.
Porch still looks structurally sound in the photo.
First floor isn't compatible with life, and the second floor either isn't or won't be very, very shortly if the fire isn't put out.
Open the pattern to a 30 degree fog -- much, much less reaction force, even than a smooth bore of the same flow. Knock down porch and fog the first floor. Once you've pushed the fire back, you can brace against the door/window/etc if needed and go to straight stream. Hopefully by then the 1.75" lines can mop up.
Your bigger challenge isn't reaction force, but the weight of the 2.5" hose your advancing.
06-07-2001, 08:44 AM #12fire-instFirehouse.com Guest
This is definatly a 2 1/2" fire as a minimum. The problem I noticed when I got the magazine the other day was the inadequate stream then I looked to see what size hoseline they were using. Next I looked at the nozzle and saw the TFT. The nozzle is doing exactly what it is supposed to do, maintain a good looking stream regardless of water supply, This is the reason we sometimes get into trouble, we forget the basic principles on which the automatic nozzle operates. The salesmen will tell you that the automatic will develop an effective stream no matter what the flow. Now lets define effective, to me it is a flowthat is capable through reach and volume to overcome the BTU's being produced to extinguish the fire, without this the fire will continue to burn until it is small enough to be controlled by the water supply available. Fire flow MUST be matched to the size of the fire.
One other thing I also noticed was the nozzle,, it is all the way open. I know some people who gate the automatic nozzle down to help them manage the nozzle reaction better. This cuts down on the flow but again the stream still maintains a good looking profile.
Now my personal opinion is that the hose line waas the right choice as a minimum size but I would have used a smoothbore with an 1 1/8" or 1 1/4" tip for sure.
06-07-2001, 09:21 AM #13resqbFirehouse.com Guest
Right line, wrong nozzle I think, although the fire might have needed a shot from a deck gun first though. It looks to me, as others have noted, that this nozzle has been open for at least a few seconds from the nozzlemans hand not being on the bale. I've seen this scenario several times in my career, the smaller drops of water from a fog nozzle, despite being in a straight stream, are evaporating before they get to the building. A solid stream nozzle would indeed be more effective on this fire, at least at this point.
Why is it evaporating? Well, it may not be sufficiently pumped as some have said, or possibly this is a fire requiring more than 250 gpm. Looks like we've got more than 750 square feet of fire to deal with, which is what a 250 gpm stream can handle according to the NFA fire flow formula (length x width / 3).
Now that I've thoought this out some more. Let's turn the deck gun on this one, we're gonna be here for a while.

May not be a bad idea to blast the deck gun on this one. Although the concept of water conservation baffles me. If the fire needs 1000 gal a minute to be extinguished and we apply 250, won't the fire eventually burn down to the required flow? The fire needs 1000gal (ex). Put it on it and put it out!

Oh come on folks, the problem is an inadequate VOLUME of water being delivered, and it would still be inadequate whether it's a smoothbore coming out and dropping on the ground before reaching the porch, or an automatic making a nice looking low flow stream. Without the water behind them, neither nob would be effective.
Say you run a 1-1/4" smoothbore on your 2.5" line. Kick butt nob -- delivers about 325gpm @ 50psi.
But if your pump op is only giving you 100gpm, your nozzle pressure is only gonna be 5psi. How far is that stream gonna go?
Fundemental problem in this pic is inadequate volume to supply the nozzle, not which nozzle is being used.
To expand a point of mine from last night (cut short when we got toned for a Heroin overdose...grrrrr)
Your bigger challenge isn't reaction force, but the weight of the 2.5" hose your advancing.
I don't object to a 2.5" line being pulled. Looking at the fire, a 2" or 2.5" would be appropriate for the flows.
But what strikes me funny is a lot of people who support smoothbores 'cause they have lower reaction force also want the big hose.
Say you run a 150' 2.5" line with a 1-1/4" smoothbore running 50psi and 325gpm. The reaction force on the nob is 123lbs. And the hose has 300lbs of water in it, plus it's own weight!
You could switch to 2" hose, still achieve those flows with very reasonable pump pressures, and cut the weight of the hose down to 195lbs -- still heavy, but still easier to humb than 300lbs!
Where it might make a difference is if your on a short-handed crew you may flake and charge the 2.5" to start knocking down the fire, but find your crew unable to advance the line for lack of muscle. 2" you've probably reduced your manpower by 1 or 2 guys to hump it forward.
150' of 1.75" by the way contains 150lbs of water, and 150' of 1.5" weighs in at 115lbs.

Like SFD said the idea of water conservation is baffling. This picture is a prime example of why it should not be done. For years, my department has done just this sort of thing on rural, non-hydrant supplied fires, "conserve water." In actuality, as you can see in this picture, water conservation is actually water wasting.
I must add that like everyone else, I don't know what exactly the situation is, and I do not want to be an armchair fireman, but conserving water does not work, it only wastes water and conserves fire!

Me neither, I am certain that the picture does not tell the complete story and the guys are very early into the incident and doing the very best they can with what they have on scene at that moment.
but conserving water does not work, it only wastes water and conserves fire!
In my experience, conserving water just means the fire would have went out faster if we didn't show up at all.

As a veteran career firefighter of nearly 28 years service, all of which has been spent in the field,I seldom feel the need to
"monday morning quarterback" other departments fires. After careful study of the posted picture I have come to a few general conclusions.
This is apparently a wood frame structure
obviously well involved.The smoke condition evident on the second floor indicates that it and the attic area too will soon be showing a large volume of fire. The line that is in position in the photo tells an interesting story. The fact that the firefighters pictured are kneeling may indicate a lack of pressure and or volume exiting the fog nozzle they are operating. This could be due to a malfunctioning nozzle and or low water pressure in the area. At any rate this fire , in my opinion is beyond the capabilities of even large handlines. But if large handlines are all that were available here, smoothbore nozzles would be a more desirable choice to bring this incident to it's inevitable conclusion. I would prefer large caliber master streams to try to darken down this heavy volume of fire. I also find it rather striking that the firefighters pictured do not seem to be experiencing radiant heat to the point of discomfort. In any event, in my opinion as an officer, this structure would be marked as a defensive operation.
Since it's a slow Sunday morning around here and my breakfast hasn't settled yet, let me throw a bit more food for thought out there.
We,ve all heard debates concerning "straight stream vs. fog stream" application when entering structures that are well involved in fire. Many of you hose humpers out there that have time on the job know that there's a time and place for straight stream, narrow stream,narrow fog and fog patterns during interior operations.
After being "lobstered" a time or two in the past I'm not sure the old-timer that told me this was right but it stuck with me.
He said (after I had complained about some moderate steam burns after a job)" Dont worry kid I havent met a firefighter yet that perished from first degree burns and furthermore when was the last time you saw a room full of steam flashover".
I definately don't advocate the firefighters on my crew practice what that guy preached but I'll tell you one thing.After reviewing case studies of fatal flash-overs and reading firefighters accounts of thier pain and suffering after getting caught under those circumstances, I'll take the steam burns anyday if a wide fog stream, swirled in a good old fashioned "O" pattern, applied to heavy heat or flame will knock the fire down.
Thanks for letting me get my nickels worth in
and stay low............Capt.T.J.Richards

It appears that the problem in this picture is a underpumped engine pressure. Would a smooth bore do better in this situation. No it would fall short just like the automatic. Don't blame the nozzle for the pump operators inability to develope the correct flows.( I am not saying that is what happened here. ) If you want to compare smooth bore at 50 psi vs a automatic at 100 psi both at the same flow then I would tend to believe that the automatic would hit harder and deeper simply because of the 50 psi increase in nozzle pressure.
The question that I have is why we are so hung up on the 50 psi nozzle pressure for smooth bore tips. I could take the same two firefighters in this picture and use a 1-1/8" tip or a 1-1/4" tip at 100 psi nozzle pressure and get flows of 375 and 460 gpm respectively with a harder hitting deeper penitrating stream and deliver a bunch more water.
06-10-2001, 07:54 PM #21BLACKSHEEP-1Firehouse.com Guest
let's say that they do have enough pressure, the stream is not getting to the fire. I've seen this problem before using fog nozzles. The nozzles do just too good of a job breaking up water for indirect type attacks. Even on straight stream it just won't do it. Sometimes the nozzle operator is not even aware of it because of his position. The smooth bore with whatever tip you would like(I prefer a 1-1/4 330 gpm) would be a better choice just because the stream would make it to the bldg before it evaporated. The stream can be managed by the same number of people because the reaction force is less for the same amount of gpm.
O.K. I'll bite on S Cook, If you have a nozzle that requires 40 lbs to operate and you have 25psi, you just go to a smaller tip.(25psi through a 7/8 tip is still 110gpm, it won't help these guys, but it might help someone) If you have an automatic nozzle that rquires 100 psi and you only have 25 psi, you just look goofy. It has been my experience, every time, that an automatic nozzle will use more psi to operate than any other nozzle. If the nozzle is gpm adjustable, you can still get a stream by going to the smallest gpm setting. There are automatics out there that take more than 25 psi to just activate the nozzle, forget about any type of stream.

I've seen the problem Blacksheep-1 talks about too. Only in my experience, it happens on both autos and smoothbores every single time a nozzle is opened as it's getting up to operating pressure or, is pumped incorrectly or, gets kinked or, pinched because a truck parks on it or, when the nozzle is operated incorrectly.
It is obvious that at the moment the picture was taken there was not enough pressure at the tip for some reason. To assume there was or blame the lack of reach/volume on an auto is nonsense. If someone wants to use this to prove a point for the smoothbores, you have every right to do so. But what kind of reach would you have had in this case? You don't know. We have no idea what the pressure is at the time the picture was taken, it could be 25psi for all we know (remember the standard arguement that autos give a good looking stream at any pressure so you never really know what's being pumped). What kind of a smoothbore stream would 25psi give through a 1-1/8" or 1-1/4" tip. What would the reach be?
The simple truth is that operated correctly, the right size nozzle flowing the required volume of water in the right pattern will put this fire out in short order. It makes absolutely no difference if it is a smoothbore or an auto.
And if you're wondering, we use both - autos for flows to 300gpm on 1-3/4" and 2" lines and smoothbores to 600gpm on 2-1/2" lines (the Big Paulie nozzle). If this was our fire, as long as the crew pulled at least the 2" on this one, I'd have no problem with their choice.
And Big Paulie, I wish you great success at the Firehouse Expo! With any luck, I may see you there.

i agree with a 2 1/2" blitz line, but as another poster said, the pressure doesnt seem to be that great on the nozzle. Ive seen more water come out of a booster line.

OK, I guess no one saw the part about the live amunition, and propane tank INSIDE the house. Forget the Fog vs. Smooth bore, and the 1 1/2" vs. 2 1/2" debates. What are you really trying to save here? The entire first floor is fully involved, with heavy smoke on the second floor, and fire fire possibly venting from the roof. I'd go with an un-maned monitor to protect exposers. That house is a total loss, why risk your people?

Midnight in the Old City

What draws tens of thousands of Jews, night after night, to the midnight Selichot service?
My best friend inexplicably severed our relationship. I was faced with the challenge of forgiving the unforgivable.
I slowly began to realize that Yom Kippur is a gift, not a burden.
Now is the time to work on mending any rifts in your family.
What do you do when you learn you're the very thing you hated? One man's incredible road to teshuva.
I cringe thinking how much aggravation I caused this woman.
Not all wins take place on the playing field.
Most interactions are with people whose private pain is hidden from us. How can we make sure that we do not add to their distress with a harsh word?
After taking another man's life, a petty criminal changes the direction of his life.
"My career was still stuck in neutral. I wasn't working. I wasn't doing anything to get things going either, except blaming my roomate for ruining my life with his success."
Those who believe in the power of good deeds love to tell his story.

From Bad to Better: Finding Inspiration in Hard-to-Hear Knowledge
Written by Robyn O'Brien
As we learn new information about our food supply and how contaminated and polluted it has become, the knowledge can at times be disheartening. There are moments when the information can be hard to hear and difficult to learn, as it can cause enormous heartache and grief.
But if you look at the information as a gift, as the greatest knowledge you could ever receive to help protect the health of your loved ones, somehow it makes it easier to learn.
Because in the words of Charles R. Swindoll, "We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations."
Knowledge does not have to infuse you with fear, but rather knowledge can inspire and empower you, so that the love that you have for your children can serve as a rocketfuel to create the change we want to see in the health of our families.
And if you need a moment to reflect on how to do this, just watch this video of an incredible performer who is sure to inspire you.
"Love who you are and let it guide you to who you can be." ~ Mariel Hemingway

Garlic Fries
Posted By GKC On December 18, 2011 @ 1:55 am In Weekly Recipes | No Comments
I tried this recipe that was originally from an old Cooking Light magazine. I made a few GKC adaptations and loved them.
3 pounds peeled baking potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons margarine
8 garlic cloves, minced (about 5 teaspoons)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional but really good)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Combine first potatoes, oil and salt in a large zip-top plastic bag, tossing to coat.
Arrange potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake for 50 minutes or until potatoes are tender and golden brown, turning after 20 minutes.
Place margarine and garlic in a large nonstick skillet; cook over low heat 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add potatoes, parsley, and cheese to pan; toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Stephen Heard served briefly on two separate occasions as temporary Governor and Council President in the early Colonial days of Georgia. Heard had a Negro house slave whom they called Mammy Kate. She was more than six feet tall, very strong, and absolutely fearless. In an old letter, written in 1820, she was referred to as, "the biggest, the tallest, the most imposing Negress I have ever seen and she has proven herself to be a strong, a kindly, a never failing friend to Colonel Heard and his family." Kate was of pure African blood and declared herself to be the daughter of a great king. On War Hill at Kettle Creek, 8 miles from Washington, Georgia on February 14, 1779, Stephen Heard (who later became Governor of Georgia) was one of 23 Americans wounded and captured by the Tories. Colonel Moore took him and the other prisoners to Fort Cornwallis at Augusta, Georgia. When Mammy Kate learned of the news that Governor Heard was in prison in Augusta, she was determined that her master should be free. She mounted Lightfoot (an Arabian horse belonging to Stephen Heard) and rode to Augusta, which was about 50 miles from Fort Heard (Wilkes County where the town of Washington now stands) where the Heards made their home. | Photo © Grandmother Stories from the Land of Used-To-Be |
She stopped just outside the town and found a safe place for keeping the horse. Then she procured a clothes basket and went to the fort, offering to take in washing for the British officers. She soon won favor, for she could iron ruffled shirts beautifully, and the dandy officers liked that. After a while, she asked permission to do Governor Heard's washing. "He won't need them. We will soon hang that rebel," said the jailer. "Let him hang in clean clothes," begged Kate. This request was granted. She was allowed to go back and forth to the prison, and given unusual privileges. Kate was allowed to visit twice a week and return his clothes for washing.
She never failed to bring food -- usually the "Georgia ash-cake." Mammy Kate lived to be very old and used to tell her master's children and grandchildren tales of the war. "Lord a mussy, honey," she would say, " I had to put dat bread in my bosom to get it to marster." The she would add, with a shake of her head, " But I always took it out ' fore I got dar, 'cause he was might perticler."
It was about dusk one evening when she returned with the clothes basket on her head, and made some saucy remark as she passed the guard. That was the last ever seen of Mammy Kate and Governor Heard at Fort Cornwallis. Instead of soiled linen, the governor of Georgia was tucked away under the sheet that covered the basket. Stephen Heard was not a large man, though distinguished and
handsome. On her way out she passed the unsuspicious sentry and several British and Tory officers without question.
No doubt Mammy Kate walked from the fort with the bib basket lightly poised, her arms a-kimbo, singing a plantation tune. But as soon as out of sight she carefully lowered the basket, and she and her master ran as fast as they could to the thicket where the horses were tied. She had stolen Silverheels, the Governor's Arabian horse, from the enemy's stables, and he and Lightfoot were waiting to take them out of danger of British bullets.
On the way to Fort Heard, Stephen turned to Mammy Kate and said, "Kate, you have this day saved my life, and I shall set you free." "Na, Marse Stephen," she replied, "You may set me free, but I ain't 'gwiner set you free." Her love for her kind master and old home was strong, and like many slaves, she lived in freedom from care and want, loved and honored by her white friends. Stephen Heard not only gave her her freedom but he also gave her a small tract of land and a comfortable four-roomed home in which she lived until death. Daddy Jack, the gardener, was her husband, and they had nine children. She faithfully remained with the Heard family until she died an old woman. Mammy Kate made a will leaving each of her nine children to one of Governor Heard's children--of whom there were nine. So the children of the devoted black mammy were given to the Heard family by the legal will of their mother. Mammy Kate and Daddy Jack lie buried in the corner of the Heard, Allen, McIntosh, Mattox burial ground at 'Heardmont,' near Elberton in Elbert County, at the feet of the master and mistress they served so faithfully. No marker shows the resting place of this heroine.

I voted no. As an example I consider Timothy Bradley to have a good chin. Kendall Holt ripped him with a punch that would probably have buried most fighters. But he recovered quickly and bounced back.
IBF World Champion
Even Froch was genuinely knocked down. He wasn't wobbly or anything, but still was knocked down. I think the combination that was landed on him would have knocked most people out. The guy has a granite chin.
If people are only knocked down as a result of a vicious combo or whatever, that would usually knock people out, I think the knockdown can actually be a sign of a granite chin. Factors such as balance, position etc all play their role. |

If a fighter get's dropped on a regular basis, and get's dropped hard (think JMM) then yes, he is chinny.
However, off-balance KD's and the likes don't mean anything IMO. Anyone will go over if they get caught off-balance. Sh*t, even Abraham has suffered a balance KD and his chin is iron. Then there is the ability to recover, an entirely different variable. |

Flash KD'S probably shouldn't count towards chin.
but JMM was hurt a lot of times he was dropped. so saying that it's all flash kds in regards to him is false. SERGIO and TITO have a lot of flash kd's that being sad.. Sergio was seriously hurt against Jr. and Tito looked to be hurt against Vargas.. |

"Black Sabbeth": Gonga and Portishead's Beth Gibbons Cover "Black Sabbath" — Music Video
Related Content
If you love Black Sabbath and old horror movies — and who doesn't? — you might get a kick out of this ultra-creepy new music video by a U.K.-based stoner-metal trio called Gonga and Portishead singer Beth Gibbons.
It's a cover of Black Sabbath's "Black Sabbath," which has been re-dubbed "Black Sabbeth" due to Gibbons' smoky involvement (Remember: Her name is Beth).
Are the visuals new, totally made for the music video? Are they from an obscure horror flick (or several obscure horror flicks)? We honestly don't know! Either way, check it out and let us know what you think in the comments or on Facebook.
April 28, 2014 at 3:34pm
The visuals are from the Boris Karloff Film Black Sabbath from which Black Sabbath took there name.

dc.description.abstract | It is impossible to place a date on the beginning of fishery research. It no doubt existed in a primitive way among the earliest civilizations. For practical reasons, the scope of this paper is limited to the four countries bordering the North Pacific--Japan, Canada, Russia and the United States--and to research directed towards a better understanding and management of the fishery resources of commercial value. It is interesting that development of fishery research in three of the four countries was prompted by a serious decline in their salmon runs and by the adoption of hatcheries as a means to restore or maintain the depleted runs. The only difference was in Russia where fishery research began with a decline in sturgeon in the Volga and the Caspian Sea. In the Russian Far East, however, it again was a decline in salmon in the Amur and Sakhalin rivers and all were linked primarily to loss or damage to their freshwater environment. Overfishing and destructive fishing practices were recognized almost from the beginning but it was not until 1917 that the work of Thompson on Pacific halibut led to the development of modern theory of population dynamics for the management of the fisheries. Following are notes on the development of fishery research in each of the four countries. | en_US |
